Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml is a short-acting insulin used to control blood sugar in type 1 diabetes, and in type 2 diabetes when other medicines are not enough. It is usually given before meals, often alongside a longer-acting insulin.
It contains soluble human insulin. It works by helping the body's cells take up glucose from the blood, which lowers blood sugar.
Inject it as directed by your doctor, usually shortly before a meal, rotating the injection site. Do not stop or change the dose without medical advice, and do not skip meals after taking it.
The main risk is low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), with sweating, shakiness, dizziness and confusion; always carry a fast-acting sugar source and learn to treat it. Tell your doctor about illness or changes in eating or activity, as your dose may need adjusting.

How Insugen R 100Iu Injection 10Ml Works?
Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml contains regular human insulin (100 IU), which works on the body as follows:
Glucose uptake stimulation: Regular human insulin helps glucose move from your bloodstream into muscle and fat cells, where it can be used for energy production.
Liver glucose production inhibition: It prevents your liver from producing and releasing additional glucose into your bloodstream, which helps maintain proper blood sugar levels.
Onset of action: After injection, regular human insulin begins working within approximately 30 minutes to lower your blood glucose levels, making it suitable for mealtime insulin requirements.
Metabolic regulation: By mimicking the action of naturally produced insulin in your body, it helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to maintain balanced energy utilisation.
Safety Measures & Warnings
Pregnancy
Caution is advised while using Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml if you are pregnant. Your doctor may need to adjust your dosage throughout your pregnancy.

Children
Caution is advised while administering Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml to children with diabetes. It is best to consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.
Older Patients
Older patients may be more sensitive to insulin effects and have a higher risk of low blood sugar. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.
Interactions of Insugen R 100Iu Injection 10Ml
Drug-Drug Interactions
Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml interacts with the following medicines:
Beta-blockers: Medicines like propranolol and metoprolol may mask the warning symptoms of low blood sugar and prolong its duration.
Thiazolidinediones: Medicines such as pioglitazone when used with Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml may increase the risk of heart failure.
Oral antidiabetic medicines: Concurrent use with metformin or glimepiride may require dose adjustments as they enhance the blood sugar-lowering effect of insulin.
ACE inhibitors: Medicines like Enalapril and Lisinopril may enhance the blood glucose-lowering effect of insulin, potentially causing hypoglycaemia.
Drug-Food Interactions
Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml's effectiveness can be influenced by your food intake and timing.
Carbohydrates: Foods high in sugar or starch may reduce the medicine's blood glucose-lowering effect if consumed unexpectedly.
High-Fibre Foods: May delay glucose absorption and affect insulin timing.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Insugen R 100iu Injection 10ml interacts with the following diseases:
Liver impairment: Patients with liver problems may require dose adjustments as liver disease affects insulin metabolism.
Kidney impairment: Reduced kidney function may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia as insulin clearance is affected.
Thyroid disorders: Hypothyroidism may reduce insulin requirements, while hyperthyroidism may increase them.
